ruby2shoes: Well I'm not sure how much help I can be, but one of the things I try to do is not move pieces from my back row until I need to. It's like your last line of defence, so to start moving pieces from your back row is in my opinion just giving your opponent someplace to attack.

Then on the flip side, if you start to see your opponent move pieces from their back row, I will try to "attack" in that area.

Try to give & take - that is if you are going to move your piece so it can be captured, make sure you can capture back. (And if they are able to capture again, make sure you can at least keep it even and not lose more pieces then your opponent.)

Those are a couple of things that come to mind quickly.

BIG BAD WOLF: Thank you very much Wolfy for sharing your tactics with me - I appreciate it

ruby2shoes: Hi, Ruby. I have my own strategies, I can share with you.
- Your first line must not be moved until the game is close to finish;
- Columns A and H are the easiest to atack, because each piece (in other columns) may be defended for both (left and right) sides. Playing and atacking in Columns A and H, You will notice you can "break trough" with only 2 pieces (against the entire defensive line), and in the "middle" columns you need, at least, 3 atacking pieces;
- "Line positions" (Ex.: D3, D4, D5, or D3, E3, F3) are strongest to defend, but "diagonal positions" (Ex.: E3, F4, G5) are strongest to atack;
- You must not forget the main goal of the game, wich is very diferent from checkers games. It's important to get a solid game until the 20th move (depending on both players style, it can be slower or faster), but than, you must get ONE piece to the end. Not all of them!!! ;) It means that, with both defenses openned, you must not be stronger or more "closed", but simply... faster!
I hope you enjoy that amazing game (it's my favourite one, such as Gothik Checkers).
